Metaphysical nonsense, or high-tech
mechanisms built by "the gods"?

By Thomas Horn

Continued from part 12...

Isaiah therefore says that the end of
time will be marked by destruction of Babylon (Iraq) and the return of
terrible giants (Nephilim) when God commands a "ruler" to "open the
gates," releasing giants to fulfill His wrath. What God did in Egypt
when "He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger... by sending
evil angels among them" (Ps. 78:49), He will do again. Yet
Isaiah's prophecy is additionally fascinating given that Nimrod, the
designer of the Tower of Babel--the "gate of the gods"--was himself a
nephilim [gibborim] (see 1 Ch 1:10).

Nimrod.... a giant of
the race of Nephilim... authored the plan for the tower.... [and
was] associated in myth with Nergal, the Babylonian god of Mars...
The Tower of Babel was a tower to Mars. [emphasis added]

Earlier in his astonishing
book, Flynn points out,

Symbolism used by the
mystery schools illuminated the writings of Italian poet Dante, who
[also] wrote of the connections between the Tower of Babel, Giants
and Mars. Intriguingly, Dante identified Mars with Satan. Paradiso
Canto IX:127-142:

Florence, the city
founded by Mars, that Satan who first turned his back on his
Maker, and from whose envy such great grief has come, coins and
spreads that accursed lily flower, that has sent the sheep and
lambs astray, since it has made a wolf of the shepherd.

The ancient Cabiri (Gibborim)
who built Cyclopean walls and megalithic fortresses took many forms,
but they all originated from the same place. They came down from
heaven to the earth. According to ancient Sumerian myth, when Nergal
the god of Mars was ejected from heaven he descended with...
demons...

Thus
not only was Nimrod a Nephilim... not only did he design the Tower of
Babel ("gate of the gods")... not only was he associated with Mars and
built the tower of Babel to the rebel prison planet... but he, like
other giants, was daimonic (demonic) in origin. The significance of
this cannot be overlooked. Babel was a Nephilim gateway and it
is prophesied to be the future location from which "gates" open and
"giants" return.

Did God Mean What He
Said?

In Genesis 11 the story of
the tower of Babel is told. The builders wanted to create a structure
"...whose top may reach unto heaven (shaw-mah'-yim)." When the
Lord came down and saw what was happening, He said, "...nothing will
be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

This comment
seems curious if the meaning here is only that the tower would reach
into the "sky". Structures had been built around the world since the
dawn of time extending significantly upward. Yet as far as I know,
none of them created a response from God, saying, "...nothing will be restrained from them,
which they have imagined to do."Josephus points out that the Tower of Babel was being made
waterproof and that this was an act of rebellion against God, defying
Him for sending the Flood and preparing for survival of future acts of
punishment should they come. Yet what if another meaning here--which
they have imagined to do--fits
more perfectly with Scripture and history? Something that has to do
with the physicality of Heaven--as in the dwelling place of
angels--and/or the peripheral nearness of
The Ahriman Gate?

Keep in mind
that, like the Bible often has, I am drawing finite abstractions for
human comprehension with these questions: How close to the surface of
the earth is the dwelling place of angels? Of demons? Of God? I ask
this because we tend to place the physical (for want of a better term)
location of these domains far out into space. Yet what if they are so
close as to have been reached upon tall mountains? The Nephilim had
intimate knowledge of the original earth before the Heavens were
closed-up (and before God no longer walked with man in the cool of the
evening). Did the Nephilim--as offspring of fallen angels--know
something about the periphery of Kosmos and/or the throne room of God
that we don't? That in some way these locations are just above our
heads? Is this why Holy people throughout time have felt
subconsciously driven to ascend mountains in search of God? Is this
why scriptural and extra-biblical literature universally depict
metaphors of Heaven attained upon elevated platforms--Jacob's ladder,
Quetzalcoatl's ladder, the gods upon the Mount of
Olympus, the feet of the returning Christ upon the Mount of Olives,
Moses receiving the Law from God upon Sinai, the Watchers descending
upon Mount Hermon?

On the one hand such ideas
could bring comfort to some, to conceptualize God and His angels as
always in such close "physical" proximity. Yet on the other hand the
same notion brings significance to the prophecies of Isaiah regarding
earthly Babel-gates opening at the
end of time during a period of war in Iraq when, according to the
prophet, the earth will be invaded by destructive, returning Nephilim.

Are beings even now
pressing against "brass gates" of Kosmos, anticipating God's command
for a "ruler" to open these gates?

Jamieson, Fausset, Brown
say of Isaiah's prophecy:

"Reference to the
deliverance by Messiah often breaks out from amidst the local and
temporary details of the deliverance from Babylon, as the great
ultimate end of the prophecy."

In other words, the law of
double reference applies to Isaiah's words --"as above, so below" and
"what was, shall be". Babylon (Iraq) is therefore a "geographical
location" or fixed place on earth where Nephilim ("gods") did, perhaps
are, and will in the future traverse gateways.

When Daniel Fought The
Gatekeeper

In the tenth chapter of
Daniel the story unfolds of the prophet praying for twenty-one days
before the angel Gabriel appears to say that "...from the first day
thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself
before thy God, they words were heard, and I am come for thy words"
(Dan. 10:12).

Why did it take Gabriel
twenty-one days to arrive? A powerful Persian demon had opposed him,
and not until Michael, the archangel, came to help was Gabriel free to
continue his journey.

In Persian theology this
opposing spirit would have been identified as Ahriman. In the Book of
Daniel he is simply called "the prince of the kingdom of Persia"
(Iraq/Iran). He was the Babel gatekeeper, as fictionalized in our
book--The
Ahriman Gate

God also revealed to
Daniel (chapter 7) other types of earthly "kingdom" influences: the
Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, the Greek, and the Roman, each of which
was a mere human agency under the control of supernatural powers. The
principality of the Medo-Persian kingdom was depicted as a
warmongering spirit seeking to dominate through military aggression,
while its predecessor Babylonia was characterized by "forces"
pretending to the throne of God. Throughout the Bible, spiritual
Babylon is equivalent to the world system that is at enmity with God.
Babylon began at the Tower of Babel, where at the macro level Satan's
strategy to incarnate a one-world system was first attempted. It now
appears that it will end as the world hurdles toward a final climactic
encounter with giants... and their "ruler".

Forerunner of the
Giants?

Preceding
Daniel's visit by Gabriel, a dream from Nebuchadnezzar, King of
Babylon, gave Daniel insight concerning these kingdoms and a final
"revived" empire that will ultimately provide the grand entry for the
mother (or should we sayfather?!) of all Nephilim--the
Antichrist of End Times prophecy. Daniel's divine prediction is
amazing in light of the extraordinary references made in chapter 2:

"And whereas thou sawest
iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the
seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron
is not mixed with clay" (Dan. 2:43).

The personal pronoun,
they "shall mingle themselves with the seed of men..." caused
Missler and Eastman in their book Alien Encounters to ask
appropriately:

"Just what (or who) are
'mingling with the seed of men?' Who are these Non-seed? It staggers
the mind to contemplate the potential significance of Daniel's
passage and its implications for the future global governance."

Daniel's prophecy, coupled
with Genesis chapter 3, provides an incredible tenet--that
Satan has seed, and it is at enmity with Christ!

"And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it
shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" (Gen. 3:15).

The word translated here
as "seed" is the Hebrew word zera, which means "offspring,
descendants, children."

Is Satan's "posterity"
lurking behind gates, waiting for a final opportunity to mingle
themselves with human DNA, as they did in days of old? Is this the
method by which the Nephilim will return? Is this, as noted earlier in
this series concerning demoniality, the method by which Antichrist
himself will be incarnated? If Genesis 6 is truly an account of rebel
angels leaving their assigned habitation and cohabiting with human
females--out of which union mutant life forms were born--is it
reasonable to assume that Satan, as a fallen angel, already has or
will be allowed the ability to copulate with a woman?

"That’s correct. According to the
Bible, the Antichrist will be ‘the son of perdition,’ the male
progeny of the Greek apoleia, or Apollyon. The implication
couldn’t be clearer—the Man of Sin will be the physical offspring of
the destroyer demon, a transgenic of the highest order."

The Father of Nephilim
and the Son of Perdition

Some people believe that in the very
near future a man of superior intelligence, wit, charm, and diplomacy
will descend from the clouds or otherwise emerge on the world scene as
a savior. He will seemingly possess a transcendent wisdom that enables
him to solve problems and offer solutions to many of today’s most
perplexing issues. His popularity will be widespread, and his fans
will include young and old, religious and non-religious, male and
female. Talk show hosts will interview his colleagues, news anchors
will cover his movements, scholars will applaud his uncanny ability at
resolving what has escaped the rest of us, and the poor will bow down
at his table. He will, in every human way, appeal to the best idea of
society. But his profound comprehension and irresistible presence will
be the result of an invisible network of thousands of years of
collective knowledge. He will represent the embodiment of a very old
and super-intelligent spirit. As Jesus Christ was the "seed of the
woman" (Gen. 3:15), he will be the "seed of the serpent." Although his
arrival in the form of a man was foretold by numerous Scriptures, the
broad masses of the world will not recognize him as the ultimate
transgenic incarnation—the "beast" of Revelation 13:1.

It’s been assumed for centuries that a
prerequisite for the coming of Antichrist would be the "revived" world
order of Daniel’s prophecy—an umbrella under which national boundaries
dissolve, and ethnic groups, ideologies, religions, and economics from
around the world, orchestrate a single and dominant sovereignty. Such
a system will supposedly be free of religious and political extremes,
and membership will tolerate the philosophical and cultural
differences of its constituents. Except for minor nonconformity, war,
intolerance, and hunger will be a thing of the past. At the head of
the utopian administration, a single personality will surface. He will
appear to be a man of distinguished character, but will ultimately
become "a king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23). With imperious
decree he will facilitate a one-world government, a universal
religion, and global socialism. Those who refuse his New World Order
will inevitably be imprisoned or destroyed, until at last he exalts
himself "above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that
he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is
God" (2 Thess. 2:4).

For
many years the idea that such an "Orwellian" society would arise—where
a one-world government oversees the smallest details of our lives and
where human liberties are abandoned—was considered anathema. The
concept that rugged individualism could be sacrificed for an
anesthetized universal harmony was repudiated by America’s greatest
minds. Then, in the 1970’s, things began to change. Following a call
by Nelson Rockefeller for the creation of a "new world order,"
presidential candidate Jimmy Carter campaigned, saying, "We must
replace balance of power politics with world order politics."
Evidently he struck a chord with world leaders. During the 1980’s
President George Bush Sr. continued the one-world dirge by announcing
over national television that "a new world order" had arrived.
Following the initial broadcast, President Bush addressed the Congress
and made the additional comment:

What is at stake is more than one
small country [Kuwait], it is a big idea—a new world order, where
diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the
universal aspirations of mankind: peace and security, freedom, and
the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle, and worthy
of our children’s future!

Ever since the President’s astonishing
newscast, a parade of political and religious leaders have discharged
a profusion of rhetoric aimed at implementing the goals of the New
World Order. Al Gore, in his book Earth In the Balance, wrote:

"...we must all become partners in a
bold effort to change the very foundation of our civilization."

The director of the United Nations
World Health Organization back then, Brock Chisolm, announced:

"To achieve world government, it
[will be] necessary to remove from the minds of men their
individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national
patriotism...."

And finally New
Age guru Benjamin Creme hit the nail on the head by admitting:

"What is the plan? It includes the
installation of a new world government and a new world religion
under Maitreia." (Maitreia is the New Age "messiah".)

Concurrent with the political aspects
of this New World Order is the syncretistic and spiritual goals of
both New Agers and Dominionists. The blending of politics and
spirituality, such as occurs in these movements, harmonizes perfectly
with the ideas of an end-time marriage of government policy and
religious creed as was prophesied in the Bible. To that end, the tools
necessary for paganism’s ultimate incarnation—the god-king of the
Great Tribulation (Satan in flesh)—are in place. The "gods" have been
revived through modern mysticism. The pagan agenda of governing by
"divine representation" is being constructed. The governments of the
world are uniting beneath a one-world banner, and the earth’s masses
stand at the brink of a decisive moment in time.

According
to some Christians, this is the unfolding of an ancient scheme. At the
core of the conspiracy a leader of indescribable brutality is
scheduled to appear. He will make the combined depravities of
Antiochus Epiphenes, Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Khan, all of whom
were types of the antichrist, look like Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse. He
will raise his fist, "speaking great things....in blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven" (Rev. 13:5-6). As he champions worship of the gods who comes
through portals, he will cause "that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed" (Rev. 13:15).

"The
King of Babylon," as he is called in Isaiah 14, will revive the
Babylonian mystery religion--"the habitation of devils, and the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird"
where merchants of the earth trade in "souls of men" and where "the
blood of prophets, and of saints" is found (Rev. 18:2; 13; 24).

The book of Revelation details what follows
culminating in cataclysmic war called Armageddon, a time during which
God Almighty judges the "gods" who come through portals, including, we
would assume, Zeus, Apollo, Demeter, Isis, and others.

"The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will
famish all the gods of the earth" (Zeph. 2:11)

"The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith;
Behold, I will punish the...gods" (Jer. 46:25).

Yahweh will also punish the leader of the gods—"that
old serpent, called the Devil," and his human followers. In Isaiah we
read,

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little
moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall
no more cover her slain. In that day the Lord with his sore and
great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the piercing serpent,
even Leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon
that is in the sea" (Is. 26:20-27:1).

However futile, the gods will retaliate, and
a war of indescribable intensity will occur. It will be fought on land
and sea, in the heavens above, and in the earth below, in the physical
and spiritual worlds. It will include "Michael and his angels
[fighting] against the dragon; and the dragon [fighting] and his
angels" (Rev. 12:7). Some humans will join the battle against God,
calling on "idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood" (Rev. 9:20) to convene their power against the Christian God,
even uniting with "unclean spirits like frogs....the spirits of
devils [the frog goddesses Heka?]working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth...to gather them to the
battle of that great day....[to] a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon ["Mount Megiddo"]" (Rev. 16:13-14;16). There, in the valley
of Megiddo, the omnipotent Christ will utterly repel the forces of
darkness and destroy the New World army. Blood will flow like rivers,
and the fowl of the air will "eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink
the blood of the princes of the earth." Besides Armageddon, battles
will be fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphat and in the city of
Jerusalem. Yet the battle of Armageddon is the event that culminates
the hostility between God Almighty and the lower gods of the
underworld.

Once before, Satan and his "god" spirits, challenged
Yahweh at Megiddo. They lost. On Mount Carmel, overlooking the Valley
of Armageddon, the prophets of Baal dared the Hebrew God to answer by
fire. He did, and it looks like He will again. When He does, here is
what the Bible says happens:

"And
I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse
[Jesus], and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of
him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth:
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh....And I saw a great
white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and
the heaven fled away: and there was found no place [to hide]. And I
saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works....And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"
(Rev.19:19-21; 20:11-12,15).

A different destiny awaits the righteous following
the battle of Armageddon:

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True [Jesus], and
in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a
flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name
written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall
rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his thigh a
name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS....And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and....I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men....And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne
said....I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son [or daughter] (Rev.
19:11-16; 20:1-7).
